==Thanks to everyone for the cooling off; my idea on how to move through this==
I appreciate everyone talking a step back.  One of the things I love about [[Wiki]] is that anyone can edit anything, and when there is a [[diff]] - we try to work through it.  I am aware, peripherally, that there are disputes between people and perhaps communities.  These include [[RationalWiki]], [[Liberalpedia]] and [[Conservapedia]].  What I am interested in having done on [[WikiIndex]] - is to move everything to the talk page for those three [[wiki]] - and act as the moderator (other uninvolved [[Sysop|administrators]] could also be in this role).  This is only a suggestion to get us through.  Please let me know if you think this is an acceptable solution for you.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

: Acceptable (if I got it completely [concerning my en->de limitation]). Btw I'd remember the participants that wiki is a slower communication medium than e-mail, e-chat, or a real-life talk, but it's more open to public and durable. Many people will - and have to - read it. Everybody has the time to think what - and even whether - to write here. And he/she should ''use'' this time. <br>Let's keep WikiIndex a peaceful "corner" (it's certainly not the top) of the Net.

: This is politics for you. No offense, but I'd rather stick to technical stuff. That said, I think wiki rivalries belong on the wikis directly involved. WikiIndex is not about liberals, or conservatives, or religion, or Linux; it's about wiki technology and concepts. Let's keep it that way.

:Another possibility is that the people from [[RationalWiki]], [[Liberalpedia]] and [[Conservapedia]] spawn another wiki/blog/forum specifically for their 'discussion'. Having followed recent events I must say I an confused by it all this 'static' spewing out,  so I imagine that for someone new who comes to wikiIndex as a wiki listing wikis, the recent events should seem '''highly''' irrelevant and far from germane to the wikiIndex project. If wikiIndex plays host to such squabbles, there is a real risk that allowing such discussions will set a precedent that will degrade the quality of this valuable site. Let us remember the message at the foot of the edit box:
